24 hours in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Enjoy the Latin food, nightlife and fashion in San Juan.

By Jennifer Weatherhead


To only have 24 hours in San Juan, Puerto Rico might seem unfair -- pristine beaches with glistening white sand, gorgeous sun, ideal resorts, tantalizing food and a vivid night life would make anyone want to stay for much longer. But, let's just say you are island hoping through the Caribbean, or sailing through the waters on a cruise ship -- San Juan is a must-stop on any sunny destination list. The historic Latin city gives you a taste of Latin flavour with all the amazing amenities of a North American city, so you are full-swing in a new culture, but still have all the comforts of home. Here are some great ways to spend your 24 hours in San Juan.

Where to stay:
San Juan has a long list of truly amazing hotels and resorts, so much so that narrowing it down might be a bit tricky. From retro-esque to funky modern there is a hotel for every style taste and budget on the green island. The Condado Plaza Hotel & Casino is perfectly located for a short sunny trip. Minutes away from Old San Juan, fabulous dining, designer shopping and situated on a beach, it's ideal location wise. Step into the chic hotel and be impressed with the slick modern styling from the front desk to the sleek sofa and beds in the rooms. Did we mention the gorgeous pool, (we recommend a pool-side massage) and the steam room?

La Concha Resort and spa is the answer to a throw-back retro hotel. Recently redesigned and renovated by using the original blueprints from fifty years ago -- this hotel embodies hotel retro glamour with modern twists and comforts. And there's no way you won't enjoy the view. Each stylish room overlooks the blue waters and the beach is steps away from the door.

Chateau Cervantes is located in Old San Juan and the first boutique hotel in the city -- perfect for those who want to shop and dine in chic Old San Juan. It may not be located on a beach -- which by the way is still only minutes away -- but what it lacks in sand it makes up for in elegance and sophisticated styling by renowned Puerto Rican designer Nano Maldonado. The luxurious penthouse suite overlooks Old San Juan and has a steam room to help you release all your stress.
